RiverFire 2007

There is a just distant noise as the jet approaches, then with a roar and flash that lights the sky, it dumps its fuel, hits its afterburners and lights the sky over Brisbane - River Fire 2007 has begun...

The crowd goes wild and over the next half hour, the city explodes with a fireworks spectacular - a truly impressive sight. These shots were taken off the William Jolly Bridge looking south towards Victoria Bridge. I used a tripod and reduced the shutter speed to 0.2 seconds.

Then it was off to Hogs Breath Cafe for steak where we were joined by DTVforum member Mick [mgrobins]...

Ms_Zane needed to satisfy her curiosity about the Salmon, so I ordered her meal with the Tasmanian Salmon instead of steak. Whilst it was nice, Hogs Breath's speciality is steak, not fish [top left]...

Thanks Mick for joining us, we had a pleasant night. For those that couldn't attend, we understand if you had prior engagements as there was also an AFL final and the SilverChair/PowderFinger rock concert all on the same night...

Mark and Ms_Zane
